Metasearch engine

Metasearch engine
A metasearch engine is a search tool[1][2] that sends user requests to several other search engines and/or databases and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source. Metasearch engines enable users to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously. Metasearch engines operate on the premise that the Web is too large for any one search engine to index it all and that more comprehensive search results can be obtained by combining the results from several search engines. This also may save the user from having to use multiple search engines separately. The term "metasearch" is frequently used to classify a set of commercial search engines, see the list of Metasearch engine, but is also used to describe the paradigm of searching multiple data sources in real time. Operation[edit] architecture of a metasearch engine Search engines frequently have different ways they expect requests submitted. See also[edit] References[edit]

List of wikis This page contains a list of notable websites that use a wiki model.

What is Bee Pollen? Essentially, is the male seed of flowers collected by our buzzing bee friends, the master pollinators of the earth! Millions of individual, high quality, golden granules are extracted from flowers by bees and joined together with a dab of honey they bring from the hive to create these small pollen pellets. A mixture of different pollens are used by the bees to provide a rich and balanced diet for the colony. Research has shown that one pound of pollen usually supplies 4,500 bees for one year. The bees join the grains together with honey, along with their own digestive enzymes. They are brought back to the entrance of the hive where the collection trap is located.

Wiki Type of website that visitors can edit A wiki ( WI-kee) is a form of online hypertext publication that is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages that can either be edited by the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base. Wikis are enabled by wiki software, otherwise known as wiki engines. There are hundreds of thousands of wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, note-taking tools, community websites, and intranets. The online encyclopedia project Wikipedia is the most popular wiki-based website, as well being one of the most popular websites on the entire internet, having been ranked consistently as such since at least 2007.[7] Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis, with each one pertaining to a specific language.

Creating A Website Data Report: Three Degrees Of Separation Advertisement Having a comprehensive data report about your website is like having a Rosetta Stone to guide your decision-making process over the lifetime of the website. A powerful report combines data gathered from a variety of sources, including observation of and interviews with users, and analysis of the website’s analytics. The goal is to put the key insights from your research of a website into a single document. A well-rounded report is built with a combination of data gathered from three sources: personal (qualitative research), community (quantitative research) and network (website analytics). We’ll create a data report for our fictional Widgets website. Gathering Personal Data (Qualitative Research) The key to getting qualitative data from users is to observe them as they use the website. To understand their thought process and experience their frustrations, have the user talk through what they are doing as you take notes. Reaching Out To The Community (Quantitative Research)

Metadata Metadata is "data about data".[1] There are two "metadata types;" structural metadata, about the design and specification of data structures or "data about the containers of data"; and descriptive metadata about individual instances of application data or the data content. The main purpose of metadata is to facilitate in the discovery of relevant information, more often classified as resource discovery. Metadata also helps organize electronic resources, provide digital identification, and helps support archiving and preservation of the resource. Metadata assists in resource discovery by "allowing resources to be found by relevant criteria, identifying resources, bringing similar resources together, distinguishing dissimilar resources, and giving location information."

Effectively Planning UX Design Projects Advertisement Planning user experience (UX) projects is a balancing act of getting the right amount of user input within the constraints of your project. The trick is to work out the best use of your time. How can you get the most UX goodness for your client’s budget? Getting Started With UX Planning The planning phase is all about understanding what you have been asked to do and working out the best combination of activities that will give you the outcome you need, within the time, budgetary and resource constraints of the project. The planning of projects may take place when you are writing a proposal to do work that is yet to start as well as at the beginning of a “live” project. In many ways the planning of UX projects can become a design challenge in its own right. The budget for the piece of work is always the key piece of information that can be really useful to help with planning, but often this is not always available.
